your upload would go to an opensource collection. to have it moved to genealogy please send a request to info@archive.org after uploading. using good metadata is important for search so please add subjects, description, date, etc. if possible.

Thank you, Jeff. I have sent the request. Does it matter if the words in the derive title are separated by _ or %20, or the space-bar space?

I read somewhere that it helps search engines find files when %20 is between words in the derive title.

for file names it is better to use only letters, numbers, and dashes or underscores if necessary. do not use special characters, accented letters. spaces are acceptable but i tend to not have them myself.

for the page title anything is ok but again it's best to not use special characters if possible.

for the id (the tail end of the url for the page) we prefer only lowercase letters and/or numbers.

hope this helps.
